Zealandia's Lament.
(a lovjs lykic.) . A maiden fail-, » In sad despair, , ■' Sat sobbing by the shore, I saw Her. weep, Beside the deep, And heard the breakers roar. Sho gazed afar, - ? Where Neptune's car Across the waves had flown ;* Sho murmured clear, " Oh, mother dear, Pray leave me here a loan, \ MyJul-i-us < (The faithless cuss) • Bestowed his love on me, He won my heart, Then mado mo part, To send him o'or to thee. Another gal Attracts my pal— "*• Miss Falmouth is well known; I-would not sigh If he would try To leave me here a loan. Oh, faithless knight, Although I'm tight, I'mmasober stato; With open arms, Five million charms I I wait, my Jovo, I wait} Remember now Ea^h pL'ghted vow, ; In l'ap^jy days long flown. A-jew! a-jow! The Clio on Few Should leave mo hero a loan. —Saturday Advertiser.
